I think you are mixing entitlement with welfare.
An entitlement is considered a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. By Definition, Social security is an entitlement...
BUT if you do not get back more than you pay in plus a reasonable interest on your money, it is NOT WELFARE.
You earned.. and You DESERVE IT.. and WE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO OUR MONEY!!
We should not allow the government to redistribute it to someone else.. then (as is our current system), it becomes welfare.
I think the solution to social security and make is solvent is to pay back to the contributor in the form of an annuity every dime plus a reasonable rate of interest to those who paid.. AND NO MORE. If you die before you receive back your entire investment, it goes to your estate.
Those who need welfare after their social security is gone should apply for welfare.
I am ready for the predator drone attack.
